"I have been in a lot of "events" in my 40 years, and the most dangerous of all safeties is the illusion of safety. ... We call this an operational setup for failure – very bad in risk management approaches." -- Richard B. Kuprewicz, President of Accufacts Inc.

Yes, it is painful to threaten
the illusion of safety in a school or community and to talk about death
and loss. The New London survivors did not talk about their pain for more than forty years. They teach us that it is even more painful to live with a tragedy when opportunities
to prevent loss were ignored or overlooked.
